The only good thing I heard about the Sony ult 1 is you can get lower bass out of it than the charge 5 I thought it had just as good sound and as my charge 2 but with deeper bass.
This never happened with any of my current or previous jbl speakers. And trust me iv'e had lots of them and still have. Iv'e had a charge 2,3,4,5 and now the 6.
I've been using a JBL Charge 2 for the last 11 years and its still going strong. (2014 purchase)
I use a JBL charge in my truck and a JBL earbud when walking.
Until it's too hot and shuts itself off. In an ffv, the side window is possibly better
Yeah, realistically that isn't going to happen, replacing 10 speakers with 1-3 is tough as it is, much less when those 10 speakers were designed for the space they are in and those 1-3 are jammed into an enclosure with the amp and battery in a single unit... I mean the closest you will get is a one of the big JBL Party Boxes which honestly isn't very portable at like 75 pounds and 45 inches tall, not to mention they run a grand or so. If you just want decent sound quality -AND- portability the JBL Flip, Charge, or even the Extreme series are pretty decent, but for high end quality you are going to be going well over the $500 mark... KEF, Bowers & Wilkens, Sonos, etc. And Bose... Yeah, I am not a huge fan... I would take the Infinity system in my Hyundai over it in a heartbeat for sound quality.

I've been using the same JBL charge for probably 10 years. When/if it dies, I'll go buy another one just like it.
Can't go wrong with a JBL Charge or Xtreme for that price, depending on sales
Flip, absolutely no question. If the extra cost is within reason, go for a Charge. You won't want for more than that.
You probably want the charge. The Flip/Charge/Xtreme are part of the same family, but each are fairly drastically different sizes, with the boombox being the biggest by far. The biggest upgrade from Charge to Xtreme will be deeper bass, but it's harder to carry around in a bag due to its size. You should get an idea for the scale of each before buying.
I wouldn't recommend any Earfun speaker to someone who isn't very tech savy. Every Earfun speaker sounds mediocre out of the box and they need EQing. I really like my UBOOM X, but I just can't recommend it to my mom. That's why my mom has a JBL Charge. Also, any of the stock (normal or OLUV's) EQs are way too focused on deep bass, which isn't the best with classical music. And it's not very portable I think, it's rather huge.
